Guam receives Best Island Destination award from Ctrip(Wednesday,
March 16, 2016 – Chengdu, China) China’s leading Online Travel Agency,
Ctrip, recently selected Guam as a recipient for its “Best Island
Destination” award. Guam also ranked 6th among Ctrip’s Top 10 list for
2015, rising from other traditional popular choices. The Best Island
Destination award was given during Ctrip’s 7th Annual Travel Forum,
which was held in Chengdu from March 4-5, 2016.

“We are honored
Guam received this award, especially since island destinations are the
most popular overseas choices by Chinese visitors,” said Guam Visitors
Bureau Marketing Manager Pilar Laguaña. “The China market has been
performing strongly in recent years and this award supports the growing
awareness and popularity of Guam among Chinese travelers. Just last
year, we welcomed 23,000 Chinese visitors to our island, which is a
significant increase of more than 62%. With all the activities and
events offered on our island paradise, we will continue to promote our
Chamorro culture and Håfa Adai spirit to China for many more years to
come.”

Feedback from consumers on both domestic and overseas
travel destinations plays a major factor in how the awards are given for
the travel forum. The awards are generated by overall consideration of a
large-scale public vote, which lasts for about three months and engages
over four million Chinese citizens. Travel data accumulated from Ctrip
represents over 25 million consumers, as well as over 14 million
comments and social media shares.

Ctrip was founded
in 1999 in Shanghai, China. The company is a leading provider of travel
services including accommodation reservations, transportation ticketing,
packaged tours and corporate travel management.
